The Crisis Management Cell alerted the relevant officials of the government that Ahmed Farooq group of al-Qaeda was active and planned to assassinate Shia religious scholars, Shia politicians, Shia traders, and Shia professionals and Shia notables. Alongside, the takfiri terrorists of al-Qaeda also planned to hit Shia mosques and Imam Bargahs.
Shia parties and leaders have demanded of the government to shoulder her responsibility by ensuring counterterrorism operations to crush terrorist networks and providing security to the “under-threat” people and buildings. They said that instead of denying the presence of notorious terrorists of DAESH (ISIL) in Pakistan, government should focus on elimination of all takfiris.
